In the online meeting a week or so ago, David played a Red Norvo video and, when talking about it said, "I don't know why nobody has ever transcribed this solo.."

That was enough motivation for me. :)

To my ears, even though this was performed/recorded in 1960, it is an excellent example of the crossover point between ragtime and jazz. So much of what Red plays, from his low to the keyboard mallet technique to his linear construction, is reminiscent of the George Hamilton Green studies. Sometimes literally... check out measures 208-209.

Look out for Chien Chien! I think she is coming up fast in the jazz world and the vibe world.

Here is a track with her and her band. It's a killer band;

Vibraphone: Chien Chien Lu
Piano: Shedrick Mitchell
Bass: Richie Goods
Drums: Janathan Barber
